Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)
GAP is like a financial airbag—it protects you from the unexpected bumps in the road.
What does your car insurance really cover?
If your car, motorcycle, or other vehicle is totaled, you’ll still have to pay off your loan. Same if it’s stolen and not recovered. But most insurance covers just the fair market value, not the full amount that’s left on your loan.
Guaranteed Asset Protection covers that “gap” between the fair market value and the amount that you still owe, so you don’t have to pay any extra.
Is GAP right for you?
Guaranteed Asset Protection1 may be a good option for you if:
- Your vehicle loan had a low down payment or no down payment
- Your vehicle loses value quickly
- You drive more than 15,000 miles a year, which makes your vehicle lose value faster
- Your vehicle loan won’t be paid off for five years or more
